This new Holiday Inn Express sits near I-27 in a quiet area south of downtown Lubbock. You can always rely on Holiday Inn Express for quality rooms, and this one won’t disappoint. Their elegant suites can include two comfy queen beds and a full sleeper sofa in the adjacent sitting room, along with a small kitchenette with mini-fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. Kids will have fun in the heated indoor pool, while parents can relax in the soothing hot tub. Other amenities include free wi-fi, fitness center, and the always tasty free hot breakfast that Holiday Inn Express does so well.
The hotel is located 4 miles from downtown Lubbock. You’ll find plenty of stores and restaurants within minutes of your hotel, but the best eateries are in the downtown Depot District. There you’ll also find the popular Buddy Holly Center, which pays tribute to the native son and rock and roll legend. Snap a selfie with the lifesize Buddy Holly statue across the street before heading to the nearby National Ranching Heritage Center to see historic buildings of the old west. Other fun attractions are within a few miles of your hotel, including Joyland Amusement Park and the Water Rampage water park. There’s plenty to see and do in Lubbock, and the Holiday Inn Express makes a great base of operations for your family’s vacation in Texas.

We pulled into Lubbock after a very long day on the road, and pulled into this hotel in hopes of a room, any room. What luck! We got a king room. Then we headed for the swimming pool and spa to work out the day's kinks. The pool was perfect for my water aerobics, while Spouse used the spa jets. With the brightly lit parking lot, the hotel provides blackout shades to darken the room -- they did a fine job. The bed was very comfortable, but the pillows were entirely too soft, which seems to be a common thing in hotels these days. No matter how many I stacked, my head still landed on the mattress -- most uncomfortable for us side sleepers. Still managed enough sleep to wake up ready to take on the next day's driving. Breakfast was, frankly, amazing. Cheese omelets of surpassing deliciousness, crispy bacon, hot tea -- all the makings of a good keto breakfast. Yes, I overate and it was so worth it. There were many other selections, but since they weren't keto, I can't describe them in any detail -- except the cinnamon rolls I desperately wanted to eat, but didn't. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough.

I was welcomed to a friendly staff that assisted me with any questions or concerns I had. Everything was nice and clean! The atmosphere there is great and I really felt comfortable with my stay. My whole stay in experience was just great. Definitely recommend!
